I saw one at the bank yesterday. The child should be about 2 years old. He refused to be carried by the mum preferring to seat on the floor blocking people's way. If the mum tried to carry him, he started to cry. I felt like spanking him real hard  . I pitied for the mother shaa, see disturbance . |

Baybe: I saw one at the bank yesterday. The child should be about 2 years old. He refused to be carried by the mum preferring to seat on the floor blocking people's way. If the mum tried to carry him, he started to cry. I felt like spanking him real hard Na spanking is too harsh. Moreso given his age. You sef know that babies can be more bothersome than that. Here's a bit of me. At about the age of the child mentioned in the OP I had a phobia for lifts. The reason as I can articulate now was simple: when a lift starts to ascend your heart does a little fillip and this scared me and my response was to cry because I disliked the sensation. My Dad in particular suffered carrying me on lifts at that age. On one occassion I cried as loud as I could but my Dad didn't spank me. In any case I outgrew it later on. The lesson here is that there'll be some things little kids do that are embarassing but inasmuch as it is within reason, especially of the timidity we know of kids. We should give them time and encourage them to outgrow it. Beating isn't needed. 2 Likes |

If the mum tried to carry him, he started to cry. I felt like spanking him real hard And yet another poster asking how to 'deal' with someone - this time, a child  @OP, you do not 'deal' with toddlers! That child is still a baby and is simply going through a phase of asserting himself. It's called the 'terrible two's'. Google it up. He'll grow out of it. What the mother ought to have done was to provide the child with a distraction. Focusing on his naughtiness is simply playing into his hands of attention seeking, albeit negative attention. It is well with our kids. 8 Likes |

Efemena_xy:I didn't mean the 'deal' in terms of punishment or something. I just meant how do you deal with the disturbance. Children can be pretty annoying. |

Baybe: I didn't mean the 'deal' in terms of punishment or something. I just meant how do you deal with the disturbance. Children can be pretty annoying. You deal with the 'disturbance' by distracting them. Give them something that captures their attention and engrosses them. That'll help take their minds off creating a 'disturbance'. Play with them. Talk with them (not at them). Give them toys - for a two year old, a mobile car, something with colours, etc. Lift the child in your arms and swing him around. Throw him up in the air playfully and catch him (don't let him fall!) Jeez, the list is endless. You were once a child! How hard is it to look after a two year old? And for the record, I disagree with you. I do not find children annoying. I try to understand them and get in tune with their needs. I understand when a child is bored, grumpy, sleepy, tired, hungry or even not well. Children cry for a reason, you know. Not just for the fun of it. 5 Likes |

Baybe: I didn't mean the 'deal' in terms of punishment or something. I just meant how do you deal with the disturbance. Children can be pretty annoying. If you spank someone's baby, the parents should beat the crap out of you. You should wait till you have your own child then spank it as much as you want. 2 Likes |

jidegirl12: Terrible twos Lol! My dear, the 'terrible two's syndrome' even starts before they hit age 2! Bottom line here is understanding your child. Be firm with them but loving and understand what they want and need. (sigh) I just lurrrrrrve kids!  |

Apologize for his/her behavior explaining that "it is just a child", and IGNORE THE BRAT! Most parents who have been there would sympathize with you. Even those who have never been parents would pity ya azzze after rendering the much-needed apology on the ijjiot's behalf! Let it make an AZZZE OF ITSELF. . . TILL HE OR SHE PASSES OUT. . .while you watch from a distance with others. Children also have temporary periods of INSANITY. . . depending on their SUGAR LEVELS! STAY CALM. . . DON'T FEED INTO HIS OR HER MADNESS. . . they are trying to PUSH YOU!!! NEVER SNATCH THE CHILD KICKING AND SCREAMING IN FRONT OF SPECTATORS!!! Old trick! 5 Likes |
